The Blohm & Voss L10 Friedensengel (Angel of Peace) was a winged
torpedo glide bomb designed and developed by Blohm
& Voss in 1942 under the leadership of Dr.-Ing. Richard
Vogt.

The Blohm & Voss L10 Friedensengel (Angel of Peace ) looked
like a small aircraft in its own right, and was designed to carry a standard LT
950 aerial torpedo up to 9,000 m towards an enemy target. The carrier aircraft
making the attack run had to fly at a steady speed of 310 km/h, once the torpedo
had been released. The carrier aircraft triggered a time fuse, thereby deploying
a small kite which was towed behind a glide bomb on a 25 m cable. When the glid
bomb hit the surface of the water, sensors in the Kite would detach the glider
body, allowing the torpedo to continue fully submerged to target.
